    Yes, traveling seamlessly from space to planets would be even nicer. Nevertheless so far (50hrs) it’s a great game.
    Had to get used to the fast travel system but when you can travel at the speed of light that’s exactly how you would travel.

    Personally I still prefer fallout 4 - but this is a great game. Almost no bugs (maybe check your hardware guys) and lots of fun, tension and exploring the unknown.    … Expand

    Great game, I am relatively new to RPG games, I get lost, so immersed in this game it could easily pass 5 hours and I don't notice ir, the Creation 2 engine physics are awesome, and graphic details are put of this world, I've spent around 24 hrs and I'm not even scratching the surface, I can't wait to get back home to continue playing it everyday.

    After 10 years, no one will talk about God of War or Spiderman, but even after 10 years, this game will still be played and talked about. Go crazy with your jealousy, playstation femboys.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox, PlayStation and a Switch. I prefer PlayStation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the GameInformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    Upon writing , I have 50 hours of play time on Steam and 15 hours on Xbox. During my first 20 hours of playing, I was not a happy camper. I was getting annoyed with the constant loading screens, and the constant walking on worlds that had repeated content in the procedurally generated worlds. For example I kept on seeing the same cave, mine, animals, plants, and/or, outpost setup that these knew planets I was visiting didn't seem very different from each other. I ended up not letting myself go to random planets and started to only follow the main mission and side missions and I started liking the game a lot more and wanted to keep going. The handcrafted parts of the game was a breath of fresh air to me and turned my initial worry about the game around. I enjoy the space flight but wish we could travel to other planets manually, I get not being able to enter planets without a cutscene but I was expecting to be able to fly in space more than just specific areas. You pretty much have to fast travel everywhere and it ruins the journey for me. Of course, I wouldn't want to manually go everywhere all the time but here and there I would. I haven't ran into any major bugs and the miner ones I did run into would just be enemies glitching into the ground slightly and the characters not looking at you in conversation. Basically, I'm enjoying the story and side stories but besides how many planets there are, the outpost building, and ship building, this game is on par with the Mass Effect Series and most of those games were from two generations ago that accomplished most of the same things. I don't think this game is a masterpiece but it's worth the time to play.    … Expand

    great mission options, nice roleplaying, not a next generation game, INSANE modeling and texture, good side quest, very good artistic direction, too many load screens, excellent music, sometimes feels like a movie, top 1 rpg of Bethesda

    Gameplay wise, as I mentioned before, the start is VERY boring, and combat is pretty bad as well, the ai of most enemies is non-existent, and difficulty seemingly only increases enemy health, making them incredibly spongy, sometimes requiring more than 5 mags, just to kill one enemy, this makes the ammo economy absolutely terrible, I often have to just melee everyone because I run out of ammo.

    One more notable, thing, is the inability to fast travel directly from a planet’s atmosphere, to a position on it, without going through a few menu. (You can fast travel from planet to planet, and solar system to solar system without menus though).    … Expand

    This game starts off really slow and I was unsure if I would like it in the beginning. But after about 15-20 hours it truly turns into something special! Ignore the playstation haters that came to give this game bad reviews and try it for yourself!

    Another Bethesda's Classic

    It uses a lot of mechanics used in previous games. The story is being well, a lot of things to do and has an interesting lore It could be perfect, but to me it loses points for -1 Bad graphics quality and optimization: Plants and NPCs are the most obvious, I've seen a lot of indies with best NPCs they are even bizarre But also abuses of ray tracing,    Another Bethesda's Classic

    But also abuses of ray tracing, everything in Atlantis looks like ceramic

    Thus I can't believe so awful optimization, it can run al least 30% better. There are another games with much better quality and less load game screens. I'm getting almost the same fps as in series S but another games runs at double


    -2 Lacks of minimap and procedural generation. We have seen much better procedural generation in another games like No Man's Sky    … Expand

    One of the greatest RPGs of all time, an entire universe at the player's disposal, a game has never been so ambitious, I'm happy to be part of this story.
    Bethesda outdid itself, hardly a game will be as gigantic as this one! Enjoy Starfield one of the greatest games of all time.

    not the best, not the worst. but it could be a better game.
    i think some group of people attack this game's score. if baldur's gate can take 96, this game could easily take around 97 score.

    probably bethesda doesn't give any money to gaming influencers or nvidia pay influencers to start a smear campaign. probably because of starfield comes with hard amd support.

    Díky Todde! Další masterpiece od Bethesdy, ve kterém si užiji vyšší stovky hodin. Nicméně AI mohlo být trošku lepší... Budu se těšit na DLC, která snad hru ještě více obohatí o nekonečný obsah, do kterého se budu rád roky vracet. It just works!

    I fell in love with Starfield. It's my cup of sci-fi and I can't wait to spend the next thirty, fifty, maybe seventy hours here. I enjoy the exploration, the shootouts, the art style, the ship building, and the diverse worlds. I gratefully acknowledge the good optimization and the absence of major bugs. But I can't overlook the flaws. There are bad animations, ugly faces and repetitive moments.[Issue#329]

    In a year dominated by sequels to franchise favorites, there was a hope that Starfield would carve its own path to success. While the team at Bethesda should be commended for taking such a big swing, there’s no denying that the game doesn’t feel like a cohesive work. Maybe continued support and future sequels will make something more meaningful out of a work that is clearly deeply enamored with both science fiction and space exploration. Unforunately, this first launch has had far more mixed results than desired.
